One of the economical ways to fill your garden with Wave Petunias is to grow your own plants from seed. If you’ve never sowed your own petunias before, or haven’t had wild success, the tips below should be helpful.

Sow your Wave petunia seed into a moistened germination media or potting soil. Petunias benefit from light for best germination, therefore do not cover the seeds. Place the tray in a warm and bright location.

Once germination occurs and small green leaves (called cotyledons) are visible, remove the plastic cover. These early first leaves emerge in about 5-12 days.

While you don’t want the soil to completely dry out, you’ll want to wait to water until the soil is light brown and the container feels light when picked up. Then you can water thoroughly, allowing water to run through the bottom of the transplant pot or pack.

Now it’s time to feed your seedlings! Fertilize with a liquid feed weekly, following the instructions on the package. Soon your plants will be established with roots growing to the edge of the pot. To determine this, gently pull plants and soil away from the container to check for root growth.
